Excited to see this out in print in Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences. It's the first publication with @amormino.bsky.social in the EMP Lab, along with Joel Segel from Health Policy and Administration. At a pivotal moment for empathy, we consider its role for policymaking 1/n
The article is open-access at the link, please share! The journal is associated with @fabbs.org and connects science to society and policymakers. I'm excited to see many of the other excellent social psychology articles that are coming out in this special issue, as well! 3/n
Another successful Annual Meeting in the books! We were joined by leaders at NIH, NSF, @science.org, and more. Special thanks to @sagepub.com and APA, whose sponsorship made this meeting possible!

FABBS is proud to support the Americans for Medical Research campaign. Over the last century, research has helped improve the early detection and treatment of serious diseases. Future progress is at risk unless we continue federal funding for medical research.
